matrilHello there! Been a while, hasn't it? I'll be happy to get back to making screencaps on my own computer in two weeks, but I'll manage with one little pic this time.
Another of my favorite Anakin/Padmé scenes, whose foreshadowing dialogue I have analyzed to the tiniest detail. The imagery is just as prophetic. They stand in the shadows, awaiting their death. Together, yet kept apart by their bonds. Their eventual deaths (and here I speak of Anakin's symbolic death as he transforms into Vader) will in fact happen together, connected by spiritual threads but hopelessly apart from each other.
And as they enter the arena, pledging their love in the face of death, they become nothing but silhouettes, a shadow play against the backdrop of a stark, unfeeling landscape.
Gives me shivers. I love these movies.
Next time, a bit of punniness to lighten to mood....
